Limbaugh is a policy advocate. He is not a reporter. Rush Limbaugh is similar to a network TV 'news' anchor. He informs his audience and offers his opinions without a fair chance for anyone to rebut them on his program. He has a three hour show rather than sharing a 30 minute time slot. He only gets listeners that understand that the big five media are dominated by leftwing extremists. He is an editorialist more than a reporter. The rest of the media has devolved into the same lack of objectivity. Rush is honest about it the rest lack the honor to admit their bias. Who cares whether Obama wants anything to do with the plan Rush Limbaugh is proposing? He could call a press conference and simply ask Rush to stop using the expression. He could have his VP call the program and make such a request. Instead he attacked the man. Obama chose to act without decorum and deserves the disdain he received for acting classlessly. Never in the history of our nation has any President ever appeared to be ineligible to serve. Never has any President I am aware of spent the equivalent of several hundreds of thousands of dollars to obscure their past to preserve that appearance. Abraham Lincoln said: It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. Obama appears to be saying: It is better to remain silent and be thought not a natural citizen than to provide one's Certificate of Live Birth and remove all doubt. When he proves he is eligible to serve he will receive more support form me than while he appears to be a usurper.
